Turing Instability and Pattern Formation in a Semi-discrete Brusselator Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a semi-discrete Brusselator system is considered. The Turing instability theory analysis will be given for the model, then Turing instability conditions can be deduced combining linearization method and inner product technique. A series of numerical simulations of the system are performed in the Turing instability region, various patterns such as square, labyrinthine, spotlike patterns, can be exhibited. The impact of the system parameters and diffusion coefficients on patterns can also observed visually.

SPOT PATTERNS IN GRAY SCOTT MODEL WITH APPLICATION TO EPIDEMIC CONTROL
In this work, we analyse a pair of two-dimensional coupled reaction-diusion equations known as the Gray-Scott model, in which spot patterns have been observed. We focus on stationary patterns, and begin by deriving the asymptotic scaling of the parameters and variables necessary for the analysis of these patterns. A complete bifurcation study of these solutions is presented. The main mathematic...
متن کاملTuring pattern formation in the Brusselator system with nonlinear diffusion.
In this work we investigate the effect of density-dependent nonlinear diffusion on pattern formation in the Brusselator system. Through linear stability analysis of the basic solution we determine the Turing and the oscillatory instability boundaries. A comparison with the classical linear diffusion shows how nonlinear diffusion favors the occurrence of Turing pattern formation. We study the pr...
متن کامل0 Stochastic Turing patterns in the Brusselator model
A stochastic version of the Brusselator model is proposed and studied via the system size expansion. The mean-field equations are derived and shown to yield to organized Turing patterns within a specific parameters region. When determining the Turing condition for instability, we pay particular attention to the role of cross diffusive terms, often neglected in the heuristic derivation of reacti...
متن کاملModel reduction permits Turing instability analysis of arbitrary reaction-diffusion models
Synthesising a genetic network which generates stable Turing patterns is one of the great challenges of synthetic biology, but a significant obstacle is the disconnect between the mathematical theory and the biological reality. Current mathematical understanding of patterning is typically restricted to systems of 2 or 3 chemical species, for which equations are tractable, but plausible genetic ...

The process of stochastic Turing instability on a network is discussed for a specific case study, the stochastic Brusselator model. The system is shown to spontaneously differentiate into activator-rich and activator-poor nodes, outside the region of parameters classically deputed to the deterministic Turing instability. This phenomenon, as revealed by direct stochastic simulations, is explaine...
